Step By Step Instructions
1. Pour the “00” flour on a clean surface and make a hole with your hand in the center.. Then add the eggs in the hole and start mixing with a fork starting from the center going outward until the flour and the eggs start forming into a dough.
2. Once the flour and eggs form into a dough you can start kneading the dough until all clumps are gone and texture is smooth.
3. When you are done kneading form into a ball, wrap it with kitchen plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
4. While the dough rests you can start making the spinach filling.. Add the sheep or cow ricotta in a bowl then chop the boiled spinach into very small pieces and add it to the ricotta, then add the grated parmesan cheese and mix until it’s well blended and forms into a thick cream texture.
5. After 30 minutes.. Take the ball of dough and cut it into 6 to 7 thick slices, take each slice and roll it out to make the dough thin.. You can do this with a dough roller or simply passing it through a pasta maker.
6. Lay two or three thin pasta dough’s on a table, and start placing little balls of spinach filling with a pipe about 2 to 3 inches apart.. Then water the edges of the dough around the ball of spinach filling. See Pics below or video for step by step instructions on how to make the spinach ravioli.
7. To make Mezzaluna stuffed pasta with spinach filling simply follow the same steps but instead use a round cutter. Enjoy your fresh ravioli’s!
